WASTED TIME
Don Henley & Glenn Frey

Eagles
Hotel California
1976

So many people have asked for this song that I decided to put it up.  I really
didn't want to because it's all piano, but I guess I will finally have to do it.
Have fun with it!


Verse 1:
C			 Fm6
    Well, baby, there you stand
C/G				       F	G7
    with your little head down in your hand.
F	       Am7		  Dm		  Am7
Oh my God, you can't believe it's happening again.
     F			    Am7		     Dm		    F	  G7
Your baby's gone and you're all alone and it looks like the end.

Verse 2:
(repeat verse 1 chords above)
And you're back out on the street
and you're tryin' to remember.
How do you start it over? You don't know if you can.
You don't care much for a stranger's touch but you can't hold your man.

Chorus:
Am			  E/G#
  You never thought you'd be alone
G		  D/F#
this far down the line
    F			       Em
and I know what's been on your mind,
	Dm		    F  G7  C
you're afraid it's all been wasted time.

Bridge:
Bm7	       E7		   Am
    The autumn leaves have got you thinking
Bm7	      E7		  Am
    about the first time that you fell.
Bm7	       E7	  Am	    C/G
    You didn't love the boy too much, no no,
        F   C/G	       Fm6	F    G  G7
you just loved the boy too well____  er-well

Verse 3:
(same as verse 1)
  So you live from day to day
and you dream about tomorrow, oh.
And the hours go by like minutes and the shadows come to stay.
So ya take a little something to make them go away.

Chorus:
(same as above chorus)
   And I could have done so many things, baby,
   if I could only stop my mind
   from wond'rin' what I left behind
   and from worryin' bout this wasted time.

Ab			       C
Ooh, another love has come and gone.
Ab				C
Ooh, and the years keep rushing on.
    F		      Am7	     Dm			Am7
I remember what you told me before you went out on your own:
	    F		    Am7		Dm		G7
sometimes to keep it together we got to leave it alone.

Chorus:
(same as above)
So you can get on with your search, baby,
and I can get on with mine.
And maybe someday we will find
	Dm	      F  G7  C	   Am7	F  C/G
that it wasn't really wasted time.

Ab		C  Am7  F  C/G

Ab	Fm6	C
